    I Know there is a roster limit date at the start of the season.

    But what happens when players get hurt and out for the season, when is the last date MLS can add a player?

    First transfer window ends April 15.
    Midseason transfer window is July 15-Aug. 15.
    Roster freeze date is Sept. 15.

    These are all as it has been. The transfer windows should stay the same. The CBA could change the roster freeze date, but I wouldn't expect that.

    The transfer window only pertains to players actually transferring from another club, right? I.e. people who are under contract somewhere, but have their rights bought by a new club.

    A player out of contract can sign anytime, can't they?

    So if a team has injuries, they could add a player at any time if the player is not under contract to another team.
